IN BRIEF
The Group Enroll option on the CAMPS page allows staff to enroll multiple students into a camp in a single workflow. This feature mirrors the Group Enroll experience used for classes, enabling staff to search for students, add them to an enrollment list, configure enrollment details, and create multiple bookings at once.
Overview
The Group Enroll option on the CAMPS page allows staff to efficiently add multiple students to a camp in a single process. Instead of enrolling students one at a time, staff can search for students, move them into an enrollment list, and apply enrollment settings to all selected students before completing the enrollment.
This workflow is designed to match the existing Group Enroll process used for classes so that staff experience a consistent interface and workflow across both features.
When using Group Enroll for camps, staff can:
- Search for students by name.
- Filter students using assigned keywords.
- Add multiple students to a temporary enrollment list.
- Configure enrollment details for all selected students at once.
During the enrollment process, the System performs several verification checks to ensure the enrollment is valid. These checks include:
- Student Flag alerts
- Policy acceptance verification
- Camp requirement validation
- Maximum allowed booking limits
If any of these checks trigger a warning, staff can review the message and decide whether to continue or cancel the enrollment for that student.
Additional operational details include:
- Each enrollment created through Group Enroll generates individual enrollment records for each student.
- The System also generates separate Audit Log entries for each enrollment.
- Audit log entries match the information recorded when enrollments are created individually and reflect the actual timestamp of creation.
Important Notes
- Staff must have the “Enrollments” permission to access the Group Enroll option.
- The Group Enroll option will not appear for camps that contain User Defined Questions that require Yes/No or typed responses, because those questions require individual answers from each student.
Accessing the Feature
- From the main navigation menu, go to CAMPS.
- Locate the camp for which you want to create enrollments.
- Expand the Enrollments view for that camp.
If the camp meets the eligibility requirements, the Group Enroll option appears to the right of the Camp Enrollment Wizard option.
The option will be available only when:
- The staff member has the Enrollments permission, and
- The camp does not contain User Defined Questions requiring individual responses.
If the camp includes required User Defined Questions with typed or Yes/No responses, the Group Enroll option will not be displayed.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Open the Group Enroll Window
- Navigate to the CAMPS page.
- Locate the camp where you want to enroll students.
- Expand the Enrollments view.
- Select Group Enroll.
The Group Enrollment window will open, displaying two columns:
- Student search results on the left
- Students selected for enrollment on the right
This interface functions the same way as the Group Enroll window used for classes.
Search for Students
Locate the students you want to enroll using one of the following methods:
- Search by student name
- Filter students using an assigned Student keyword
The search results appear in the left column.
Add Students to the Enrollment List
To add students to the enrollment list:
- Select the "+" icon next to a student.
- The student will move from the results column (left) to the selected students column (right).
To remove a student from the enrollment list:
- Select the red "X" next to their name in the selected students list.
System Verification Checks
Whenever a student is added to the enrollment list, the System performs several validation checks before completing the action.
These checks ensure the student can be booked into the camp.
Student Flag Alert
If the student has a Student Flag Alert, the System displays the alert message.
Staff must acknowledge the alert by selecting OK before continuing.
Policy Acceptance Verification
If the student has not accepted required policies, the System will:
- Display a warning message
- Ask whether the staff member still wants to enroll the student
Staff can then:
- Confirm the enrollment, or
- Cancel adding the student.
Camp Requirement Verification
The System checks whether the student meets the camp requirements, including any Auto Approve prerequisites.
If the student does not meet the requirements:
- A warning message appears.
- Staff can choose to proceed or cancel adding the student.
Maximum Allowed Bookings
The System verifies whether enrolling the student would exceed the maximum number of allowed bookings for the camp.
If the booking would exceed the allowed limit:
- A warning message is displayed.
- Staff can choose to proceed or cancel adding the student.
Configure Enrollment Details
After selecting the students, click Next to proceed to the Enrollment Details screen.
From the main enrollment panel, staff can configure the enrollment settings.
Available options include:
-
Enrollment Type
- ACTIVE
- WAIT
-
Camp Blocks
- Select the blocks that apply to the enrollment.
-
Tuition Override
- Enter a custom tuition amount if needed. Note that this tuition override will apply to all selected students.
-
Email Confirmation
- Enable or disable sending the enrollment confirmation email and addendum.
Complete the Enrollment
After confirming the enrollment settings:
- Select Finish.
The System will:
- Create individual enrollment records for each selected student.
- Record separate Audit Log entries for every enrollment created.
Each Audit Log entry contains the same information that would be recorded if the enrollment were created individually.
Because multiple enrollments are processed sequentially, timestamps may differ by a few seconds.
